Elise paused to take a long, poignant look at Blake’s face. That demon is going to regret what it did to me, he’d told her. Don’t try to take that away from me, Elise.

That was what she was doing right now, taking away his choice because it hurt her too much to honor it. Searing pain tore through Elise’s heart. I can’t do it. I love you too much to betray you like that.

She kissed Blake’s cold lips, then sat back. “It’s over,” she told the demon.

A viselike grip settled around her throat, lifting her until her head banged on the ceiling.

“You will obey me,” Xaphan said. Waves of sulfur curled around her, the odor so thick, it felt like it was slithering inside her.

Elise could barely talk with the pressure on her throat, but she managed to force out her reply.

“Go…to…hell.”

The van shook, metal curling back from the frame, before it was lifted and slammed repeatedly to the ground. Elise used all of her strength to tear away from the force that held her. She crawled toward Blake, covering him with her body when she reached him. Shielding him from metal shards that sliced through the air, ripping into her flesh and gouging the equipment around them. For a few nightmarish minutes, it felt like the entire world was being shaken and ripped apart.

A piercing shriek scalded her ears, causing Elise to lift her head and look in its direction. In the open doorway of the ruined van, a cloud of black flame appeared. It stretched into the form of a man with long, smoke-tipped wings coming from his back.

“Die,” the demon hissed. That cloud of burning sulfur shot straight toward Elise and Blake.

Elise braced herself but didn’t try to escape. She wouldn’t leave Blake, even if it meant her death.
